neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I had a small smooth bitch years ago who was terribly undershot with one of her lower canines nearly sticking into her nose. She was very hard and I can honestly say that when she died at 5 years of age that bloody tooth was still there, it was probably the only one she had left. Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Seen pups that were bred a few year ago that were very undershot but in no way did it effect them from working,imo people nowadays show more interest in what a terrier looks like rather than if its a good worker.Nothing wrong with a terrier that looks the part and also works well but it would not bother me in the slightest if it was the ugliest dog in the land as long as it works.I have 2 litter sisters here,1 nice type of bitch the other stumpy little f****r but both do whats asked of them and there is no favourites. 4 Quote Link to post

Yeah years and years ago before they started breeding the faults out of them,yes your pups will probably be fine but watch what they throw out could be 1 could be the full litter.and as for sitting out and saying nothing that's what makes you know nowt as all you will be listening to is the ones that can talk the talk ??

dillydog 8,463 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I don't think i know a single line of terriers that doesn't throw an undershot pup, or bad coat, to big, to small, you name it they've thrown it Edited December 2, 2015 by dillydog 4 Quote Link to post

Lurchers you really dont sound like your talking from experience. Have you read a load of D.B Plummer books and become an expert? Dillydog is 100% right we all throw a percentage of bad mouths,bad coat or odd dog a touch long in the back,but why would you look to correct them faults with an outcross and risk losing what we actually breed for which is working terriers. Your user name is very apt "lurchers".....you should stick to them! Edited December 3, 2015 by alcapone 6 Quote Link to post

leethedog 3,071 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) If q dog has a proper mouthful its not just the front teeth holding don't think many dogs take a nibble at prey this lump is undershot to feck I don't think he holds just on the Front Edited December 3, 2015 by leethedog 1 Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 The front of the jaw is furthest from the fulcrum so surely when a dog has ahold the front teeth do very little? In which case being undershot shouldn't be an issue. I don't know if that is correct but it maes sense in my head. 1 Quote Link to post
